Inte hade jag en aning om att Tyskland, detta normalt sekulära och (numera) snusförnuftiga land, hade så pass stenhårda abortlagar...Att de tydligen sällan tillämpas fullt ut är en annan sak.

Verkligen intressant att dessa uråldriga abortlagar lever kvar i just Tyskland. Det här är betydligt hårdare än den gamla svenska lagen som ifrågasattes redan under 1960-talet och avskaffades för femtio år sedan. Jag har alltid utgått från att Tyskland hade i stort sett lika fri aborträtt som här i Sverige.
Hur har det blivit så här i det annars moderna och progressiva Tyskland?

Abortions in Germany should be legalised within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, a government-appointed commission is expected to recommend on Monday.
While abortion is rarely punished, it remains illegal in Germany, except for specific circumstances including when a woman’s life is in danger, or she is a victim of rape, while the prerequisite for any termination is a consultation with a state-recognised body.
Advocates of a law change have welcomed the investigation into the country’s legal framework, calling the law outdated and detrimental to women. Even in the cases not considered illegal, the procedure must take place within the first three months, except when there is a compelling reason to carry it out later.
The all-female expert commission on reproductive self-determination and reproductive medicine was set up by Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s three-party government after the desire to change the 153-year-old law was anchored in its coalition agreement.
However, opposition lawmakers, in particular from the conservative Christian Democratic Union/Christian Social Union alliance and the far-right Alternative für Deutschland, say as it stands the existing law enjoys broad acceptance and offers necessary protection to the unborn. They argue that despite being illegal, abortions are accessible and it is extremely rare for them to lead to prosecutions. If the recommendations are acted upon, they have said they will turn to the constitutional court.

(utomäktenskapliga relationer ses i stort sett överallt i den moderna världen som enbart en privatsak, inget straffrättsligt). Den ska man nu äntligen försöka få upphävd...
